The upcoming CTRL+Z is another banger story from the early days of the interwebs. No money. No traction. A startup idea nobody understood. So we did something… unconventional. What happened next turned into one of the weirdest (and most successful) launches I’ve ever pulled

Second chances are rare, but @pyrtbilly actually has the balls to initiate FYRE Festival 2. The event organizer in me respects the ambition, even if the risk is insane…. If he pulls it off, it'll be one of the greatest comeback stories in event history. YOLO 🎟🔥 #FYRE2 -.

Sat down with Mews CEO Matthijs Welle. Incredible journey from zero to 2+ billion valuation and a great guy. Good vibes, listen via Spotify (it's in Dutch).

Time to have some fun again. For nearly two decades, I’ve been deep in the startup + tech world. Along the way, I’ve collected stories—some wild, some ridiculous, and some that probably shouldn’t have happened. I'm writing them down in CTRl+Z, my bi-weekly newsletter Rewinding.
